A True Daughter of the Party
North Korean opera and film
A True Daughter of the Party (Korean: 당의 참된 딸; lit. To Truly become a Daughter of the Righteous Party) is a North Korean revolutionary opera.[1][2] First performed in 1971, it is credited to Kim Jong Il.[3][4][5]
The opera is considered one of the "Five Great Revolutionary Operas", a group of classical, revolution-themed opera repertoires well received within North Korea.[6][7] A True Daughter of the Party is the only one of the five set during the Korean War.[8]
It is performed with a male chorus, a smaller female chorus, with Western musical instruments, principally brass and strings.[9]
